Target class: optical principle Context triple: [Fermat’s principle of least time, instanceOf, optical principle]
-
A.
optics theory
chosen
Optics theory is the conceptual framework that explains how light behaves and interacts with matter, including its propagation, reflection, refraction, and diffraction.
-
B.
optical configuration
An optical configuration is the specific arrangement and selection of optical elements and their parameters within a system that together determine how light is manipulated to achieve desired imaging or beam properties.
-
C.
optical component
An optical component is a physical element designed to manipulate light—such as by transmitting, reflecting, refracting, focusing, or filtering it—within an optical system.
-
D.
optical instrument
An optical instrument is a device that uses lenses, mirrors, or other optical components to manipulate light in order to enhance, analyze, or capture visual information.
-
E.
optics formula
An optics formula is a mathematical expression that quantitatively relates optical quantities—such as object and image distances, focal length, refractive index, and wavelength—to describe the behavior of light in optical systems.
- F. None of above.
Provenance (1 batch)
The batch behind each pipeline step, in order, with when it ran. Timestamps are batch-level — stages were processed in waves, so the object chain (NER → NED1 → NEDg → NED2) reads in order, but predicate / elicitation batches can sit in a different wave.
